ASUS Supertower
Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 Ghz
Motherboard: ASUS of course... LG1366 socket I think
Memory: 9GB
Video: NVidia GTX 550 Ti 2GB
Sounds: SoundMAX Integrated
Cooling: Big honkin' fans all over
Storage: 1 TB platter
It's a first gen i7 so it runs hot, but it still bangs out the latest games at full quality with that recently installed video card.
A word to the wise, if you smoke your cigars inside your house, make sure you are dusting out your computer case every two weeks with some canned air - especially your CPU fan - as your smoke particles are all building up in there and will eventually cause your heatsink to fail.
Intel i7 2720 @ 2.20 GHz
Motherboard: No idea
Video: nvidia GeForce GT 555M
12 GB or RAM
Storage: 500GB
Wish I could airblast out the inside - gotta be full of cigar dust, but I'm afraid to take off the keyboard (can't get at it from the backside)
Intel Core i7 940 @ 2.13 Ghz (8 CPUs)
Motherboard: Some custom alienware one which has been replaced 5 times from me dropping the comp
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Video: NVidia GTX 250M
Sounds: Basic HD one to take up less port space from performance
Cooling: 2 fans
Storage: 450GB
Display (My pride and joy) 15 inch LED 1080p HD display.
If this thing was waterproof it would allmost be a toughbook since its encased in a damn near 30 pound metal casing..
EDIT: Also if you ever get an Alienware I strongly recommend getting the longest warranty you possibly can. In 2 years with my clumsyness and random failures, I've had the screen replaced 1 time, Motherboard 4-5 times, Ac Adapter 3 times, and Keyboard once. I've been pretty brutal. All were covered under warranty and free.

2nd generation i7 2600 @3.4GH
16 Gigs of RAM
2 X 2 Tb HD
Nvidia 560Ti vid card
Motherboard - EVGA Classified 3 770A1
Cpu - Intel I7 960 Bloom quad overclocked to 4.4ghz
Ram - 12 Gigs Patriot Viper Extreme 2000mhz - actually 1935 due to overclocking cpu @ 1.66volts
GPU - MSI N580GTX Lightning Xtreme Edition GeForce GTX 580 overclocked but I have 3 profiles (games are picky these days)
Main Drive - OCZ RevoDrive 3 series PCI-E SSD 240 GB
Pwr - RAIDMAX RX-850AE 850W
Mouse - Rat 9 wireless (freaking love it)
Keyboard - Saitek Eclipse 2
Gamepad - Logitech G19
Team Fortress 2 - multiplayer and co-op FPS
Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 - co-op Zombie apocalypse survival FPS
Bioshock - Single Player First Person shooter mixes Ayn Rand and Art Deco in an underwater utopia gone awry. To say more would spoil arguably the most original game since Half-Life 2. Sequel was not as good, but good for an FPS. Bioshock: Infinite to release next year and is expected to equal or top the original. Same dev team.
Dawn of War 1 & 2 - Mutiplayer real-time strategy game based off the Warhammer 40K universe. Probably the best RTS out there (sorry, Starcraft dweebs) and a 3rd one is coming out next year. Better catch up. (both 1 and 2 have multiple expansions).
Portal 1 & 2 - single-player first-person puzzle-platform video game and it's sequel with an incredible story and compelling gameplay. MUST PLAY TITLES.
Half-Life: Source - The 1998 critically acclaimed first person shooter that changed FPS games forever. Graphically updated in 2004 to work in valve's Source engine after the release of it's sequel. MUST PLAY TITLE.
Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 2 - The best FPS title ever made, Half-Life 2 delivers excellent gameplay, emotional content, tons of cinematic moments, and a rewarding storyline. It's pretty much like being the main character in a huge budget movie. The episodes which are a direct continuation of the story are each a good 6-8 hours of gameplay each.
That's my recommend list.. Also, if Andrew or anyone else REALLY REALLY wants to play either Half-Life 2 or Half-Life Episode 1, I can gift them to you for FREE. You must have a steam account and install Steam to play them (and for me to gift them to you). I also have a 75% OFF coupon for Portal 2 that I can gift to someone on Steam that's only good until August 30.
